September 15, 2016 – Read the updated article I have just published here. I get lots of questions about email providers, so I thought it might be helpful to review some of the most popular. I’m going to begin with MailChimp. It’s what I use and what I encourage a lot of my clients to use. I will be digging into more providers to provide perspective on what’s out there. Each provider is slightly different than the other which makes them perfect for some businesses and not so perfect for others.

Speaking of consumerism, let me tell you about our experience this weekend. Dena has been bugging me to go to this Direct Buy open house. You've seen the ads on TV? They'll save you money buy allowing you to buy direct! Yeah, right. I knew I was in trouble when I found out that it's an invite only, "open house" to a membership club. Sounded sort of time sharey to me. But, in true supportive spouse fashion and a little "I'll do anything to make my girlfriend happy" thrown in for good measure, I went. I was a skeptic when I watched the ad on TV and turned more sceptical the moment we were greeted at the front door.

iOS 8 brings the biggest functional increase to the iPhone and iPad since. . . forever. But it also brings the pain of 4GB of storage you need to free up before you can install it. When you use Software Update to download and install iOS 8, not only do you need the space to store the file, you need the space to stage it while the update takes place. That might not be a problem on a 64GB or 128GB device. On an 8GB or 16GB device, however, it can be maddening. Luckily, there are several things you can do to make downloading and installing iOS 8 on your iPhone or iPad much, much easier.

Was royally scammed and lied to by sales manager Jeff Moore. Now need names and address of Velas brothers and corporate officers of Velas Vallarta badly. Want out of our contract as it does not benefit us at all especailly the the new mandatory "all inclusive" food program for more than $100 per day even though units have full kitchens.

There is a popular scam going around that all computer users need to be aware of. It relies on the illusion that someone elsewhere is able to see what your computer is doing. The scam is mostly aimed at Windows users, but there are stories of Mac users being targetted too. This scam, like so many, starts with a cold call. Someone with an Anglo–Saxon name and a strong Indian accent claims to be calling on behalf of Microsoft or a made–up variant such as ‘Windows Support Services’. He or she has been told that the punter’s computer is behaving strangely, probably as a result of a virus infection.

I’m a bit late to the scene here, but I think it’s still worth making a stab at this. Also, this is being written on an airplane, where I am travelling home from San Francisco to NY with a case of bronchitis. So I am not exactly at my best. Lenovo, one of the largest makers of windows-based laptops, sold out its customers as part of one of the worst deliberate violations of computer security I’ve ever seen, by shipping a piece of software called Superfish pre-installed on its computers. Superfish is, with absolutely no exaggeration, one of the most serious, unethical, despicable things I’ve seen in quite a lot time.

My oldest son is three months from turning 16 and getting his drivers license. But I was the one daydreaming about a new ride. On an unseasonably warm day recently, I thought to myself: It would be so nice to drive a Jeep with the top off. Just like I did when I graduated college and landed my first job. Idea: Maybe he could drive my car and I could get myself a used Wrangler. I searched the St. Louis Craigslist and … wow. Someone was selling a 2000 Wrangler, brilliant yellow, with custom black fenders. The description said it had low miles, mostly highway.

There is no information on the Inspired Living Application website indicating who owns or runs the business, however going by the provided street address appears to be operating out of the US state of Oregon. The company’s website domain (livingapp. com) was registered on the 13th of October 2012 and lists a “John Rodgers” as the owner. Rodgers (photo right) was a “founding representative” of Zurvita (2008) under the branding of “FoundersTeam”. The FoundersTeam website is now defunct and redirects to that of Inspired Living Application. On one of Rodger’s Zurvita marketing pages, Rodger’s states that ‘ much of (his) background is in the ministry serving as a Bible teacher in Oregon ‘.

Visit Pizza Hut’s website, and the first thing you see is their “Triple Treat Box,” with 2 medium pizzas, breadsticks, and the Ultimate Hershey’s Chocolate Chip Cookie. Papa John’s, on the other hand, promotes their “Duel Layer Pepperoni XL Pizza. ” While indulgent, neither of these options is nutritious. Thankfully, most popular pizza joints allow you to customize nearly every inch of your pie, from the amount of cheese to the ingredients themselves. Some spots even offer a “light” menu with calorie, fat, and sodium-conscious pies.

Southern California also has a few farming communities and small, coastal towns, but the area is often dominated by the rambling expanse of Los Angeles and its large suburbs. There, finance, real estate, tourism, medical and entertainment sectors reign. At the far southern point of the state is historic San Diego, also a powerhouse in healthcare, tourism and entertainment. Buying a Home in California
California has a reputation for expensive real estate, with the median sales price climbing fairly steadily over the past two years. The current median sales price is up 4 percent over last year to $482,150, well above the national median sales price of $228,700.
